How Members of Congress Are Bribed

"How Members of Congress Are Bribed" by J. Hampton Moore is a scathing exposé of corruption in the United States Congress, where the author throws light on how railroad tycoons, like Collis P. Huntington, used bribery and lobbyists to manipulate politicians. Moore’s writing presents a compilation of letters that reveal underhanded methods of swaying public officials with money and promises, showing in detail how corporations twist laws to benefit themselves, all while harming the public, and highlighting the ways lobbyists exploit their influence. The book is essentially an urgent plea for reform, where Moore urges Congress to confront the corruption and safeguard the integrity of American democracy.
